Matchday Thread - Derby County v Oxford United (30/07 15:00)


Recommended Posts

A thankful return to meat and veg league action, and the dawn of a new era for Derby County Football Club. 

 

New League, new Manager, new players, but thankfully the same old club that's existed since 1884.

 

Thank you David Clowes, you do know what it means to us, and in our darkest hour you stepped forward and enabled us to start believing again.

 

A fully sold out away end and the possibility of a 30,000+ crowd roaring on the two teams come 3pm Saturday.

 

Oxford, managed by ex MK Dons boss Karl Robinson, have recently bolstered their squad with the addition of rumoured Rams target Josh Murphy, on a two year deal, who joins Yanic Wildshit as a recent arrival. 

 

They also boast, if that's the right term, ex Ram Sam Baldock in attack, who no doubt will be keen to finally display his skills at Pride Park.

 

I can't wait to get back inside the ground again come Saturday, and celebrate our survival and rebirth amongst the people who really matter, us fans.

 

Come on you Rams, it's in yer DNA youth!

Wildsmith

Chester   Davies

Oduroh         Bird         Roberts

Knight   Hourihane

Mendez-Laing   Collins   Barkhuizen


Subs: Loach, Cashin, Stearman*, Smith, Tommo, Sibley, Stretton**

* Forsyth in if he signs a deal in time
** McGoldrick in if he's fit enough for 20 mins.

There's a small chance Smith comes in for Oduroh and Knight moves to RB, but given Smith's first pre-season game was only 4 days ago, I'll be surprised if he does start

Yep and I think that could work. Smith has the experience to cover for Knight if he presses forward.

When fit, I would have McGoldrick in for Collins.

Yep, from what we saw last season, the 2 DM's will drop and cover LB/RB when they go forward.

Wouldn't be surprised if we dropped Smith and put McGoldrick in as a second striker, coming deeper to collect from midfield whilst Collins plays off him.

Let's hope we can emulate the 80's era in division 3 and Liam is our Arthur Cox.

What is this "hope" you speak of? ?
